Abstract
A system which allows a user to implement pop-up menus and gestural marks when the input location is restricted, such as in a corner region of a display, is disclosed. In such a situation, the system translates its position from one location where space is limited to another location where space is essentially unlimited. In such restricted locations, the system provides a indicator or guide to direct the user to make the required movement of the input device to the unrestricted location. Such a guide consists of a visible path on the display from the current restricted location to the new location. The path guides the user into making the appropriate adjustment after which the user can proceed to make the appropriate menu selection or gestural mark.
